I dunno, I don't see this as any different than when someone gets donations to their legal fund from supporters, or really what the ACLU, EFF, NAACP, etc., do with their legal programs.
- jonathankoren 10y agoIt's different because the the organizations you cite do so publically. Thiel is doing it secretly to try to keep his hands clean. That's disturbing. Also the organizations you cite are actually working for the public good, while Thiel is working from a petty personal vendetta.
- internaut 10y agoSo a justice system is a public good. It contains people who are trying to sue. That counts as a personal vendetta, only arbitrated by the courts. Your juxtaposition of 'private interest' vs 'public interest' needs work. Evidently they can both be aligned.
